BACKGROUND Technical Field

Exemplary embodiment(s) of the present disclosure relate to jewelry storage and display cases and, more particularly, to a jewelry organizer, configured in the form of a four-ring binder, which is designed to store and display for wear: rings, earrings, necklaces, bracelets, and more, neatly and securely within its removable pocketed pages. Featuring transparent, easily fastened pockets, this product will provide consumers an organized, convenient, and protective means of storing and displaying jewelry whether at home or on-the-go, as well as prevent jewelry pieces from becoming lost, tangled, kinked, or damaged.

Prior Art

A favorite fashion accessory worn by men and women alike is jewelry. Donned by people from all walks of life, earrings, necklaces, bracelets, and rings complement a person's wardrobe and offer a simple means in which to express individual style. Regardless of whether one prefers understated pieces, such as a classic pearl necklace and stud earrings; handcrafted jewelry, including beaded bracelets and carved pendants; or flashy pieces, such as rhinestone necklaces and diamond encrusted rings, most people store their jewelry in the same manner: inside a jewelry box. Jewelry boxes are manufactured in a variety of shapes and sizes to meet the needs of individual consumers. Including everything from a child's “pop-up” ballerina musical jewelry box, to the simple, upright boxes found on dresser and vanity tables, jewelry boxes offer consumers an easy means of tucking away treasured heirlooms and simple costume pieces when not in use.

Although jewelry boxes are a practical item, many consumers find that using them is not without drawbacks. Specifically, those consumers who enjoy wearing chain necklaces, bracelets and comparable pieces often find that their jewelry can become easily tangled and disheveled when stored in a standard jewelry box. As can be imagined, opening a drawer in one's jewelry cabinet only to find that a favorite gold necklace is hopelessly knotted can be an extremely frustrating scenario.

Additionally, matching pieces such as earrings or cuff links can be difficult to keep together, resulting in a time-consuming search for a piece's companion. Moreover, while jewelry boxes can be easily utilized in the home, the very size and shape of these storage units make them impractical for travel use. As such, travelers must improvise, placing jewelry in a zippered cosmetic case or wallet, hoping that pieces will not become tangled or otherwise damaged during transport. Unfortunately, these makeshift methods typically do not work, rendering the jewelry damaged or ruined beyond repair. Worse, with such insecure storage of expensive pieces, it is not uncommon for travelers to lose their jewelry, a truly heartbreaking scenario.

Accordingly, a need remains for a jewelry binder and display in order to overcome at least one aforementioned shortcoming. The exemplary embodiment(s) satisfy such a need by providing a jewelry organizer configured in the form of a four-ring binder that is convenient and easy to use, lightweight yet durable in design, versatile in its applications, and designed for storing and displaying jewelry.
